In the avalanche of editorial endorsements in Wednesday’s paper, we forgot one race and confused another. We apologize to the candidates involved, and the Emerald regrets the errors.
Wednesday’s endorsements for Senate Seat 1 and Seat 3 were switched. We actually endorse Adrian Gilmore for Senate Seat 1 and Beth Overgard for Senate Seat 3, and we apologize to any voters confused by this.
The endorsement for the Programs Finance Committee At-Large two-year term was omitted. The race is important, given the PFC’s task of setting budgets for student groups. Here is our endorsement:

PFC At-Large

Two-year term

Toby Piering
This was another easy race for us to endorse. Piering wants to improve communication between student groups and the PFC, and he’s already been attending different groups’ meetings to get off on the right foot. Piering mentioned keeping the incidental fee as low as possible, but he doesn’t have the fiscal-efficiency-at-any-cost attitude that we heard from other candidates. Finally, Piering was straightforward about not commenting on rules he’s not familiar with. That attitude can be useful in student government.
